MIDLAND FOOTBALL ALLIANCE
PREMIER DIVISION

West Midlands Police 2 Continental Star 1

Both teams played well in gale a force wind and the first half saw West Mids with the wind behind their backs and they played some exciting football to go in 1-0 up at half time. The Police pressured the visitors and a Mark Bellingham drive was turned wide and a Jon Adams corner was met by Richard Cox who saw his header well saved by Nathan Woakes.

West Mids pressure paid off and in the 22nd minute, Kevin Casson's free kick was controlled by Mark Bellingham who unleashed a drive into the bottom corner of the net.

The second half saw shots from both teams well saved by the respective goalkeepers. Bellingham's pace caused continued flutters in the Star's defence and Jon Adams had a shot kicked off the goal line. Bellingham hit the goal post as West Mids pushed forward for a second goal which came in an exciting finish to the game when Martin Brown raced through to score a brilliant goal to make it 2-0.

With only seconds remaining, Continental Star surged forward from the re-start and from what looked to be an offside position they crashed the ball into the Police net, 2-1 and that's how the match ended.
